I am so grateful to have this project finished.In the end, I kept it really really simple and added it to my project life album. I used Becky Higgins Design F page proctors and trimed the end strip off to make them slightly smaller than the full 12x12 size. This left me with 7, 3x4 spots to fill each day. Seven photos. I could do that. I decided to use the 6x4 spot on each page for that days words. Keeping with my super simple theme, I typed my text directly into Ali Edwards 6x4 story overlays in photoshop elements.
Some days, I ended up with more photos than others. When it came time to print the photos to add to the album, it didn't bother me too much if some photos were placed in another day. On a whole, my weekdays are usually pretty similar to each other and in months/years to come I know I am going to be grateful for the bigger picture and not to concerned about the minor details.
I had been waiting for the right photo/moment to have a go at using the one photo to fill the 12x12 page. I went with a photo of me ready to document my week. I love how it looks. I may still go back and add some journalling to this photo, as I currently undecided as to whether or not it is complete. I used this tutorial to cut my photo up (I divided my photo into 6 6x4 photos) to save and print as I don't print my photos at home. Side note: make sure you save your images in the proper format or they won't print (I totally learnt this the hard way! I'll need to wait till the next time I develop photos to print the top left hand corner!) The opposite 12x12 page is still unfilled. I'm thinking about dividing another 12x12 photo of my bedroom currently but I am still undecided.
How do you currently keep your photos and memories? Blogs? Photo albums? I would love to know.
Pretty album indeed! Love the block of journaling text you've put in there, I think words compliment photos in a great way. I' creating a digital album or photo book (to print on blurb) right now.
ReplyDeleteA photo book is a great way of doing this project too. I think in the years to come, I am going to love the words more more than the photos! Overall it was a great experience.
DeleteI love how you did this! I started WITL then failed. I am so glad i waited though as I do want to do it again but wasn't too sure they format. This is perfect and I think I will be starting today!
ReplyDeleteYes! You really should start again. The process can be as simple or complex as you want it to be but totally worth it in the end.
DeleteTYFS! Very cute album, I love the journaling space you used for each day.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I wasn't too about how the journalling would look but in the end I loved the simplicity off it.
DeleteLove your album. I like your style. I might actually be willing to try to play along in the future now.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for leaving a comment. You should totally do it. Pick any week! The process can be as simple or as complex and you want it to be :)
DeleteBeautiful work! Wish I had those page protectors right now:)
